This time the World Champion did not need any playoff to win the Grand Chess Tour event in Leuven. Belgium. In Paris Magnus rocked the Rapid leg; in Leuven, he destroyed his opponents in Blitz, finishing three full points ahead of the pack. An incredible display of superiority by Carlsen, who brought his Blitz rating to a sickening 2948 in the unofficial Live Rating list, and now leads the Grand Chess Tour standings. GM Joel shows us a lot of snippets and interesting tactical position in his fantastic recap.
